Old enough to remember when the right was insisting that the president was hindering aid in response to Helene and it was a (fake) scandal.
Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”
FEMA will stop 100% cost-share in Helene recovery • NC Newsline
"I am extremely disappointed and urge the President to reconsider FEMA’s bad decision, even for 90 days," Gov. Josh Stein said.

This is spot on.
So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

The top 10 billionaires increased their wealth by $589.4 billion so far this year.
56% of Americans don’t have the savings to cover a $1000 emergency.
Wealth hoarding by oligarchs is crushing the working class.

2. A test of our legal system; will it hold?
3. A test for how many Americans will be willing to help pay the legal expenses of individuals he sues.
